Stick it out for a few years, it's regular work and regular pay, you'll clock up the hours on a saw and all the other tools and put you in a good position to move in your preferred direction when it comes along. You'll probably get to network a bit too. (Window cleaning... for realiously?)

They are doing things now.

Oh, it's not you, it's a stranger. In that case we can drop the niceties and cut to the chase. It's a f*cking stupid idea, he's a dozy c*nt for considering it, and you're a sh*tty friend for going along with it.

Looks class. Well jel. Hey. Hey. I want you to take that negative attitude, plant it in the ground, and grow some helpful suggestions with it instead. At least the tunnel will be well ventilated.

Rehashed leftovers from dinner. Scrambled heggs, crispy prawns, pickled veg, hot sauce, tortillas.

Nettles are great, yes, pure nitrogen. But get some comfrey plugs and plant them nearby too, fill as much space as you can. Harvest 2/3/4 times over the growing season, as the patches grow. Hugely useful green for compost heaps, rots down quicker than nettles, easier to harvest, mines nutrients from deeper, and provides a wider range of micronutrients.

TPO black Poplars, Conservation Area, - England - Advice please
peds replied to BPop's topic in Picture Forum
No. It wouldn't be hidden at all. -
It's like that time Liz Truss met the Queen...

Understood. Just remember this discussion when your tape seals have turned into rain pockets at the end of season 1 and your tunnel flaps away in season 2. A stitch in time saves nine. Generators, batteries, flame-heated irons... ...back of a saucepan over a weber full of coals... Use your imagination.

Regarding compost, in the winter I lid mine with cardboard occasionally, and split plastic sacks if it's biblical rain and I have the opportunity or the inclination. I leave things open to the elephants (and the chickens) in the summer. Polytunnel repair tape: it's for fixes for a season, maybe two. It won't hold up over the (projected) life of your polythene. Use it to join two overlapped sheets, sure, but then iron the overlap under a sheet of greaseproof paper or something, like you're ironing a boyscouts patch onto your sash. Or something. Careful you don't melt it to f*ck.

Eee. Might be tricky to get a drum tight finish if you are doing it in sections. You can iron sheets of it together... might be best to test the process on some scraps first though.

Liar! What are you trying to hide from us?

Nice work! Heavy 30l pots aren't cheap.

Meanwhile... Donald wishes everyone a Very Happy Easter.

Lose a lot of temperature in early season I think. Go full plastic unless it's an absolutely massive tunnel I'd say.

Hear about the time Mohammed's wife called him a pedophile? Mohammed replied "Pedophile is a pretty big word for a 9 year old!"

Have been doing since I got on Internet in the late 90s, all the big three. I'm still here 👍

Advice on trees that have been aggressively pollarded

Very pretty indeed. Fits the environment well. -
That's a great deal, you should bite his hand off.

You know perfectly well you cannot direct a goose. They are a power unto themselves.

Good morning everyone. Children are being removed from the house for a couple of hours while I don the rabbit costume, hide the eggs, and draw the map. I don't really need to wear the costume if the children aren't here, of course... I just like the way it feels on my skin, hopping through the fields, nestling chocolate eggs in hollow tree stumps...
